Re: Intake manifold splash shield removal?

Re: Intake manifold splash shield removal?

It's a carb intake, injected intakes may not have the shield. I've searched for pics of the bottom of a 2.8 intake but couldn't find any. I guess no one ever takes pics of the bottom.

Reuse old or buy new head bolts?

About to replace blown head gasket on a 2.8. Are the head bolts reuseable, or do I need to buy new ones? Anyone here ever reused them and not had any problems?

Re: Recommendation: Which Distributor for 2.8L V6 (1984)?

To answer the original question, I would use a distributor for a 1985 S10. I have one, and it's not a HEI (has a separate coil mounted on a bracket on the passenger side).

Re: v8 transmission on to a 60* engine 2.8

Speedway Motors ( http://www.speedwaymotors.com/ ) makes an adapter to put a Chevy pattern TH350 on a 2.5/2.8 block. I think it would work for the 700r4 as well.
